"AAACHOOO!!!"
"Mabel, you need to stay in bed!" Exclaimed Dipper angrily.
"NEVER!" Yelled Mabel with a red nose before letting out another sneeze. "I AM NOT SICK!"
"Mabel, I know you hate being sick but c'mon!" Said Dipper tiredly.
Hearing the commotion, Stan calmly entered the room and stared at Mabel who was jumping on her bed.
"Mabel's sick? How? I thought she some sort of health maniac." Stan asked in confusion.
Stan turned to Dipper for an explanation and the young boy winced.
"A fairy with a cold sneezed on her face...three times." He said. "And now, she has a pretty bad fever."
"I can see SOUNDS!" Yelled Mabel in the background.
"Yeesh. Just come downstairs after you're done with this fairy flu thing." Deadpanned Stan as he left the room.
As soon as Stan was out of hearing range, Dipper spoke to himself.
"Huh? Fairy flu. That's a pretty good name." He said before turning to Mabel. "Mabel, you need rest."
"Nope, not sick!" Declared Mabel, determination filling her voice.
"Ugh, why do you hate being sick so much? You get to stay in bed all day without having to do anyth-" said Dipper before noticing Mabel tensing up at his words. He paused for a few seconds before he realized it. "Wait, do you hate being sick because of that illness from your old life?"
Mabel flinched and Dipper knew he hit the nail on the head, but quickly started feeling bad about it.
After a few moments of silence, Dipper made a decision.
"...*sigh* as long as you can wear a face mask the whole time, and promise not to do anything that might make it worse. We don't know anything about this fairy flu and it could be dangerous." Said Dipper rolling his eyes.
"Yesyesyesyesyes!" Chanted Mabel happily. "Thanks, Dipper!"
"But if I see you breaking any of these rules, you're not leaving bed until you're all better." Added Dipper in a serious tone, narrowing his eyes.
Mabel's shoulders dropped dejectedly before Dipper spoke again.
"Got it?"
"Got it, sir Duckdippington!" Said Mabel tiredly as she made a salute gesture. "Nice beak by the way."
Dipper stared at his sister silently before deadpanning.
"This is a bad idea."

Mabel, who was currently wearing a pink hoodie with a white undershirt, a face mask, black leggings and her shooting star necklace, went downstairs quickly with her twin per Stan's request to find party supplies all over the shack.
"*Gasp* birthday party?" Asked Mabel cheerfully.
Stan, who happened to be nearby and holding a box under his arm, replied with a deadpan. "No."
Mabel pouted before Stan continued.
"I thought this party might be a good way to get kids to spend money at the Shack." He said dropping the box in his hands onto the floor "The young people of this town want fun? I'll smother 'em with fun!"
"Hey, what if you got a jar of honey and named it fun then smothered the whole thing on people? Then you're really smothering them with fun." Said Mabel not looking very well.
Stan and Dipper stared at Mabel with concern before Soos spoke from behind them.
"Interesting idea. But that poses a philosophical question, is fun an eligible name for a jar of honey?" He said in a dead serious tone.
"*Gasp* you're right! What if he gets bullied at jar school?" Said Mabel with genuine tears in her eyes.
"There's only one way to find out, dood." said Soos before he and Mabel tried to run to the kitchen only to for Stan stand in their way.
"Not a chance." Said Stan before Soos walked away dejectedly.
"And Mabel, what did we talk about just a few minutes ago?"
Mabel frowned before laying on her back on the floor.
Wendy saw this as she was passing by and chuckled before throwing Mabel a can of silly string.
Mabel stared at the can in confusion before Wendy started spraying her with another can of silly string. Mabel quickly retaliated with her own can.
Seeing this, Dipper immediately tried to stop Mabel fearing the fairy flu might do something weird.
"Mabel, no! You're-" before he could finish, Mabel started spraying him with silly string and so did Wendy.
Dipper quickly took out a can of silly string from a nearby box and retaliated with a grin.
As the three covered each other in silly string, Stan turned to them and took the cans.
"Alright, alright! Party supplies are now off limits." He said in a grumpy tone. "Hows about you make yourself useful and copy these flyers?"
"Huh? A trip to the copier store." Muttered Dipper
""Calendars, mugs, t-shirts and more! They got it all at the copier store!"" Chanted Soos and Mabel in union.
"Best slogan ever." Said Mabel with a smile.
"Is that their slogan?" Asked Dipper curiously.
"No, that's just how I feel about the copier store. Weird that Mabel knows about it though. Are you secretly psychic, dood?" Said Soos turning to Mabel. "What else do you know?"
Dipper flinched hearing that. Mabel had just recited Soos's copier store slogan from memory. This could expose her secret and that she knew about the future!
"The biggest secret ever is that the world-" Dipper covered Mabel's mouth immediately without hesitation.
"We should get going to the copier store." Said Dipper with a very nervous smile. "Those flyers aren't gonna copy themselves, hehe."
Ignoring Dipper's suspicious behavior, Stan spoke. "Save the trouble. You know the old copier in my office? I finally fixed the old girl up! Good as new!"
"Okay, we'll go now!" Said Dipper before dragging Mabel away to Stan's office.

"Mabel, you can't just tell people about your secret like that! You could break their minds with that information." Dipper scolded Mabel who just sneezed as a reply. "*Sigh* I'm gonna have to stay with you during the party to make sure you don't accidentally say anything about the future."
"Like your crush on Wendy?" Said Mabel with a goofy smile as Dipper opened the copier causing several moths to fly out of it. "Ooh, flying butter."
"Wait- you know how it ends?" Asked Dipper in shock.
"Of course! In-" said Mabel before Dipper covered her mouth.
"No! If you say it, it might not happen!" Said Dipper in a serious tone. "We need to keep the timeline close to what you know. Let's just copy the flyers and get going."
With that, Dipper tested the copier to make sure it worked before confirming that to be true.
But as it turns out, it worked a little too well.
As Dipper tested the copier, he accidentally scanned his arm which led the copier to make a living copy of said arm.
Dipper quickly panicked before Mabel nonchalantly sneezed at the arm which messed up the paper the arm was made of enough for Dipper to tear it apart.
Dipper stared at the arm in shock. "Oh my gosh! Mabel, I think this copier can copy human beings!"
"Hehe, cue theme song!"
"Aaand you already knew this. How does the sick you have better memory than normal you?"
Mabel ignored him as she began humming a song unfamiliar to Dipper.
